Welcome to the forum. I thought I was a Type A also - always go, go, go at top speed until I dropped. Then, suddenly, I crashed and realized I needed help. After lots of therapy and medications (Lexapro and Xanax) I am finally just starting to feel like I might make it. The first step my T gave me, even before the Xanax, was to try going at 3/4 speed instead of full speed all the time. That helped to slow me down and now with the meds added I have hope to beat the disease and discover who I really am - not Type A - but an efficient and competent professional.
